On sunday i had a ride in mates VXR8. Yeah we all know they're quick but WOW! It's an auto & if you engage whatever mode it is when you flick the lever to the left from a standstill it takes off like a truck hit it up the arse...INSTANT!!!! 150 before you can count & brake, still not in it's stride & the grip round the roundabout & the controllable tail skip on the exit.  The owner knows i want a Monaro...( i like the 2 door coupe shape) but he advised me to pay a tad more for a 6.0 as the 5.7 has been known to suffer from head problems. I can afford to buy one outright now so would like to spend wisely. Some are by now hammered moneypits etc. so if any of you have any tips i'd value them.
    I don't get on here as much as i used to so hello everyone, hope you & yours are well. Guy.

Hello Guy.

What's your budget?

[Tony H]

Good to here from you Guy If you get one of those beasts make sure you plan any trip in it wisely with plenty of petrol stations on route!

I much prefer the Monaro. But, I think 2 doors would become a real issue

I changed my Omega Elite 3.2 for a VXR8 in 2009, it's my everyday car and I enjoy it lots!  Fuel consumption a bit iffy especially in around town traffic.  I had an LPG conversion done a few years back.  Saves me about £40 a week in fuel.

How do Steve. Fuel costs are not so important for me to own a car like that. But lpg would be high on the list once the car is purchased. I mean why not?

We tend to diy LPG installs on omegas generally speaking. Can you shed any light on the instal details? Like where the inlet nozels are positioned? Vaporiser position? Which kit used? And tank size and position?

Any info much appreciated? Or pics even?

Can't see LPGing one being that difficult TBH, apart from finding a suitable tank

[feeutfo]

Number plate is in the boot lid, so hiding the filler is out, by the looks.

It's a plastic inlet too.

[Lazydocker]

I think the twin exit exhaust will make hiding it tricky too

But the plastic inlet isn't an issue at all

[05omegav6]

I am considering one for work if Plan A falls through

They have a full size spare, so a donut tank should be fine. Gas feed straight out the back of the spare wheel well, over the petrol tank and follow the petrol lines. Pair of Led fogs outboard on the bumper, filler where the fog light is

Not thought about the front end too much yet, but thinking KME Gold vapouriser for each bank, possibly towards the front of the inner wings plenty of space in there though
